Locally covariant field theory as an approach to quantum gravity — •Katarzyna Rejzner — 2. Institut für Theoretische Physik, Hamburg, Deutschland

I will present recent results concerning the program proposed by Brunetti and Fredenhagen in 2005, to formulate perturbative quantum gravity in the framework of locally covariant field theory. In particular, I will discuss the problem of finding diffeomorphism invariant observables and the background independence.
